back at their hotels after spending another day interviewing survivors and collecting samples. they ll be coming home on saturday raising speculation that a strike might be on hold until after they re safely out of damascus. when it comes to who s with us, our major ally with us in this, british prime minister david cameron, who s facing his own resistance, but others say they won t join in the strike without u.n. support. as we suspect, that won t happen since russia holds veto power on the u.n. security council. russia is a big assad supporter. assad s other ally is iran which is vowing to strike israel. as a precaution, they re calling to issue gas masks. turkey is constructing bunkers and they re sending experts to the syrian border. because there are so many parts,
we re looking at this in three sections. first, we re looking a the the pentagon, what s going on behind closed doors at the white house and finally the role of congress in all of this. they re being briefed tonigh
wall, paul. and the threats. he s been terrific. now if he ever goes against me, i won t say that, okay? when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. in 37 days donald trump will become president of these united states. we have breaking news tonight. two senior intelligence officials tell nbc news that russian president vladimir putin was involved in efforts to disrupt the u.s. presidential election. that conclusion is based on intelligence from diplomatic sources and others including spies working for america s allies. that comes on top of growing consensus in the intelligence community in the u.s. that russia was behind multiple large scale attacks on democratic institutions and operatives producing fodder for countless embarrassing and politically damaging stories at the height of the presidential election. the in the just had amazing reporting on the alleged scope of the russia cyber attacks which targeted the democratic national committee
protection from the law. a good country, right? we will be watching him monday. have a good weekend, everybody. bill o reilly of next life. see you monday bill o reilly up next life. see you monday. bill: the o reilly factor is on tonight. we can confirm now that the u.s. has lost tomahawk missiles at syria. the action by president trump has caused worldwide reaction. did the usa did the right thing by attacking the brutal dictator assad? we will have multiple tonight. it doesn t make sense for assad to make these decisions. bill: there is some on the friends you will not support american military action the matter what. we will take a look at that situation. the nomination of neil m. neil m. gorsuch to be an associate justice of the supreme court of the united states is confirmed. also ahead, the usa has a brand-new supreme court justice. is that a good thing for you? caution. you are about to enter into the no spin zone. that the factor begins now. hi max, i m bi
weapons attack. look at those pictures. if russia has the influence in syria that it claims to have, we need to see them use it. we need to see them put an end to these horrific acts. how many more children have to die before russia cares? the trump administration s foreign policy certainly being put to the test this week. he s meeting today with jordan s king abdullah, just the latest in a series of high-profile meetings with world leaders. let s bring in our senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny. jeff, the white house condemned the attacks in syria. but the administration suggested in recent days that the syrian president bashar al assad could remain in power. what does that mean for today s
very important meeting with king abdullah? wolf, it is critical in this critical meeting. more importantly, we re waiting on word from the president himself here. what he says about syria. we saw, you know, a quick remark there in the opening. but will he embrace, will he amplify th
happenstance? yes, absolutely. the irony of roger stone rejecting a conspiracy theory. and so today, april 13th, 2017, was the day that america woke up to the sudden knowledge that bombs have mothers. that all of the conventional nonnuclear bombs in the american military arsenal have one big beautiful mother. and there she is. the bomb s official name for bookkeeping purposes in the military is the gbu-43. the letters on the side of the bomb describe its function, what you can expect from it. massive ordnance air blast. but the military doesn t want us to call it the gbu-43, or the moab. names are important to the military. they name their bases after war heroes, after general, including
generals who have committed treason by fighting in the confederate army against the united states of america. the biggest u.s. military base in the world, the one with the biggest military population is in fort hood in texas, named after treasonous confederate general john bell hood. but the m
but i am watching over everybody, jerry. you re in good hands, okay? thank you. you re in good hands, believe me. you can tell the people of new york. even though i didn t win new york state. i should have won new york state, but i didn t. mr. president, cathy. i want to return to a conversation we had with ivanka, dean and wilbur on jobs, the work force of the future. as we think about that and think about our skillsets, in new york city alone, our public high school graduation rate is at 70%. but the readiness of our students for college and careers is only assessed at 37%. as we look at the pace of change, we look at the digital transformation we all see in business in the marketplace, and look at the skills, this disconnect between what employers need and what our students are coming into our work forces are prepared to deliver. it would be great to get your
thoughts on the priorities of the administration around education, around, again, what i like to call not the future
going on. but tonight i actually showed up with something planned to say. oh, okay. and you ruined it. because i just listened again. rachel. bless our hearts and other parts. all right. but [ laughter ] i didn t know i could get you to say that again. i m regretting it immediately. okay. i m going to try to say the thing i planned to say. okay. and what i planned to say is wouldn t it be nice if it was just completely totally absolutely impossible to suspect that vladimir putin orchestrated what happened in syria this week so that his friend in the white house could have a big night with missiles and all of the praise he has picked up over the last 24 hours?
wouldn t it be so nice if you couldn t even in your wildest dreams imagine a scenario like that? wouldn t it be great if we could go back to wag the dog being a sitcom plot, you know. exactly. and i don t know what it is. is it a 2% chance? is it a 50% chance? i don t know. but i don t think it s a zero
four ships for the breaching sanctions on the regime. three of those ships fly north korean colors. the flag of the fourth ship is not clear. north korea has defied u.n. sanctions and restrictions in the past. now a north korean defector tells cnn the regime has a sophisticated smuggling network and can easily trade in banned goods. cnn s brian todd has this report for us. we have new information tonight from this defector on exactly how kim jong un s regime gets weapons and other banned material out of the country to sell on the black market. this man knows how kim gets his cash and helped him get it, funneling billions of dollars a year to the young dictator. august 2016, a freighter is heading to the suez canal. around 30,000 rocket propelled grenades made in north korea. part of what a north korean
defector describes as a smuggling to line the pockets of kim jong un. how do north korean smuggling operations work? are there people with false names? are there ships with false
or dental procedures. both made eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. welcome to kasie d.c. i m kasie hunt. tonight president trump confronts russia and china, two nations he hopes to win over, but now faces head on in a global game of chicken. plus, epa chief scott pruitt holds on, but for how long amid a slew of headlines about his spending? and later, surprise! you shared all your information on facebook, and now everyone can see it. mark zuckerberg is preparing to face congress. we ll talk to senator amee klobuchar who is set to question the tech billionaire.
but first tonight u.s. officials say north korea is willing to discuss denuclearization. russia is calling a chemical attack on syrian soil fake news. and china is locked in the opening rounds of what may become a full-blown trade war. and for real this time, the president is acting out a riff he used throughout his campaign, determining who is a friend and who is a foe. i
the special counsel handled that investigation out to someone else. his focus remains on what he was charged to do. tucker: this falls into the distinction of a difference category. we are less than a year on this thing. we ve got 22 indictments, 100 felonies, 13 russians by the way and of five guilty pleas, that s a pretty good day s work and i think we should let him finish his job. tucker: are all guilty pleas the same? is pleading guilty of lying to a federal agent the same as quitting with a foreign government or are they different universes? of course not, but they may be going lately on these guys to get their cooperation, time will tell. i think it s absolutely fair to say this special counsel ought to deliver or wind up his work. benghazi took two years, i think that s way too long, but i ll tell you what. indicting 13 russians for interfering with the election is exactly what he was charged to do, i m glad they were indicted, i hope you are. tucker: let s be total
